The little shit beat up the Easter Bunny!

I'm impressed with an 18 yr old with the presence of mind and will power to keep from hitting back. I don't think I could.

Easter Bunny Gets Pummeled by Boy at Mall

Sat Mar 26,12:59 PM ET

BAY CITY, Mich. - The Easter Bunny is hopping mad. Bryan Johnson, who portrays the furry character at the Bay City Mall, says he was pummeled in an unprovoked attack on the job. Police say the attacker was a 12-year-old boy who sat on Johnson's lap the day before the March 18 incident.

Johnson, 18, suffered a bloody nose. He kept his cool during the attack, deeming it inappropriate for the Easter Bunny to fight back. But he's not willing to forgive and forget.

"They (the sheriff's deputies) told me it was up to me, and I feel that the boy should be prosecuted," Johnson told The Bay City Times.

Johnson told Bay County Sheriff's deputies that the boy hit him in the face at least six times before running away.

Bay County Sheriff John E. Miller said the youth has been in trouble in the past. The case will be forwarded to the Bay County prosecutor's office next week for action, he said.

Johnson, meanwhile, is back on the job at the mall, where he had been working as the Easter Bunny for about a week before the attack.

"I just like getting the kids to laugh and have fun," he said. His job is to get his picture taken with children and make them laugh. That can be difficult because he is not allowed to speak while in costume.

Johnson said his 12-year-old attacker seemed perfectly happy the day before the incident. "Yeah, he came up and said, 'Hi,' and was sitting on my lap and talking," Johnson said. "He seemed OK."

But when he saw Johnson the next day, the boy didn't want to talk.

"He just started hitting," Johnson said.

I think in the Aunt Maude story the Easter Bunny won.

I want to know why the fuck a 12 year old was sitting on the Easter bunny's lap. That is just wrong.

That crossed my mind as well. I also want to know what kind of teenager would talk to the press about dressing up in a bunny suit for a living, much less then getting bloodied by a 12 year old. Can you imagine how much shit he must be getting from friends?!?

Wait a minute! Since when does a kid sit in the Easter Bunny's lap? I thought that was for Santa Claus.

The Easter Bunny gets no sympathy from me anyhow. What's a Bunny doing screwing around with eggs? Or chocolate? I thought they ate carrots.

And what, does he bring you presents? That's news to me. At my house, the kids would color eggs and write names on them and then the Easter Bunny would come in while they were asleep and hide them all. What's that all about? Couldn't they hide them themselves? The next day my wife would have to go find them all because my kids were pigging out on chocolate and couldn't be bothered.

I think the kid should have kicked the Bunny in the eggs. Easter's all screwed up.

He did good at the time and didn't munch the little bastard; he should let it go now.

I know someone who worked in marketing at Disney World. (When I say "worked in marketing," I mean she was "a Memory Maker" in Disney-speak. Yes, really.)

Oh, the tales they tell after they're kidnapped and deprogrammed.

We had drinks one night with a gentleman who still works at Duckau, and loosened up enough to tell this:

Everyone on the executive track has to spend a day as a Cast Member. (That's someone who works in the park.) The guy we were drinking with had done his duty as Pluto. The rules are very strict if you're a Head Character. (If your costume has a head on it, you're a Head Character. The plum jobs are Face Characters like Cinderella, who earn union scale wages. Most of the Easter Bunnies I've seen have been Head Characters. As opposed to Santas, who wear their own heads...But I digress.)

Anyway, Head Characters at Disney World can't talk, even to answer questions, because they'd never get the voices right; in Pluto's case, he should be mute anyway so it goes without saying. But even Pluto has a signature, and to play Pluto for an hour you have to learn to forge his signature. Anal retentive? Maybe.

This executive was doing his time as Pluto one hot summer day, signing autographs and breathing his own exhaled air while balancing that enormous yellow dog head, when a small child got tired of waiting his turn and began to kick him. Kicked him repeatedly, while the parents just stood there.

Pluto tried to communicate the only way he was officially allowed to - with body language - that the kicking had become bothersome. But the kid kept on. Maybe body language doesn't work when your limbs are not entirely your own and the head you're wearing won't stop smiling.

Finally, Pluto knelt down, gave the lad a hug, and whispered, "If you kick me again, I'll snap your neck."

I agree. I thought you had to be 18 to sit on the bunny's lap.

Some time ago a young man I knew a little bit was in college and desperate for money. He took a job over the Christmas break. People at the college found out what his Christmas job was and the poor devil was known as "Santa Claus Stone" for the rest of his college days.

When you need money bad enough, you will do things that will later amaze you.

I was Santa Claus For the pets. Our local animal charity does Christmas pictures with Santa each Christmas. Somewhere out there is a picture of me in a white beard, 40 pounds of the most overweight daschunds in the world gripped under my arms, smiling desperately at the camera.

I LOVE IT!

Obviously the kid (12-year-old) is a BAD EGG and this episode is going to COLOR his character for the rest of his life.

But perhaps we are misjudging the lad.

It is the thought of a 12-year-old male sitting on an 18-year-old male’s lap that make me wonder if this might have not turned out better if it had happened in San Francisco, or at least, if the 18-year-old had been a scout leader, or a priest.

If the truth were known, perhaps we would learn that E. Bunny was carrying his break time carrot in his pocket, and the 12-year-old thought he was protecting his honor.

The concept of anyone sitting on a bunny's lap is wrong on so many levels!

None of this should have happened were it not for that lapse in judgement.

Where I come from, 18-year-olds don’t want to be a bunny with a young thug sitting on their lap — most 18-year-olds much prefer to hold a Bunny on their own laps.

 

[SensualCealy]

Well at least the 18 yr old had a job and a legal one at that!
As for the 12 yr old, well I hope he ends up in juvie where he belongs if he has a record already!

A few years ago, at my hubby's kids party for work, the Santa didnt show up. SO hubby fitting Santas description was asked to fill in. So he slipped into the costume and came out 'ho ho ho-ing'. His pants barely making it over his butt. The rubber boots scrunched down below his calves. ( hubby was a power lifter in his days and has massive calf muscles) and Santa's belt didnt fit at all! lol
I had to make a couple quick whispers to my kids so that when they got on to his knee they wouldnt say- " Hey Daddy thats you!" I told them the real helper Santa the one that works for Santa couldnt make it so 'the' Santa asked Daddy to fill in, but they couldnt tell anyone - it was a secret! lol Both kids were really proud of their Dad that day.
For once they kept quiet and we all had a good laugh over it. (specially Santa with his pants hanging like a rapper!)

I think the 12 yr old should be forced to wear a sign that says..."I beat up the Easter Bunny...KICK ME."

What's a Bunny doing screwing around with eggs?

They originate in Pagan fertility symbols.

Apparently, the ancients believed if a woman ate boiled bunny stuffed with an egg in its womb (or ass) it increased the chance of successful pregnancy.

 

[Kassiana]

I was in that kind of mood yesterday after I got tricked into attending the Easter service at my church. My minister got rather preachy, though normally she isn't, and started haranguing us on what we had to believe about the Bible's version of the Easter story.

I spent most of the time watching my shoes and making sure my husband didn't blow a gasket, because he was even more unhappy than I was.

If the damned Easter bunny had come upon us after that service and there were no witnesses...

 

[cantdog]

Kass, the Easter Bunny is always with witnesses. Santa even more so. Gregarious sorts of fellows, these symbols. Sorry about your preacher. A Christian might be a Universalist, but certainly never a Unitarian, I'd have thought.

Good self-control, babe, remember we love you.

Johnson told Bay County Sheriff's deputies that the boy hit him in the face at least six times before running away.

That's what happens when Easter bunnies don't listen.

I warned the furry bastard last year that if he insisted on delivering those godawful candy-coated-marshmallow-substitute eggs to MY basket he'd be getting a good ass-whipping. See what happens, Mr. Cottontail?

 

[carsonshepherd]

It was the Peeps that put ME over the edge actually.....

Exactly. Marshmallows were made for hot chocolate and s'mores ONLY!

I have to say, had I been the easter bunny, some little reprobate would have been looking for the bits of his teeth rather than eggs.

Having once been held rather tightly by the mouse at Chuck E. Cheese, I recommend giving the kid a good old-fashioned Auntie hug. You know, the kind where your face is squeezed so hard against her bosom that you're mere inches away from blackout when finally let go? That way you save face with the public and knock the kid's ass out. At the very least, he'll be picking fur from his teeth for weeks.

 

[Samandiriel]

Sounds like the little scamp just needed some attention...and ritalin.

Is this a hint as to your gender?
